Signature Style (PR&P Week#4)

The question was “Do I have my signature style?”.

Because I just started sewing clothes shorter than one year ago. So I wasn’t sure what to make for this week.

But.

T turned two last week and I haven’t made anything for her birthday. So, I decided to make a dress for the birthday girl. And that dress could be the garment for PR&P sew-along. Yes, you call it win-win, right?

I think this dress is my signature style in these points.

1. Thrifty

I used thrifted $1 dress for the main fabric.

I found this dress at local Antique Mall. I got some more $1 dresses at that time and made this and this.

I like thrifting and refashion. I even like the smell of the thrift store 😉 Refashion is easy and challenging. I will do more and more refashion for sure.

2. Vintage-y

I didn’t know, but after I started sewing, I found that I liked vintage taste.

For this dress, I used Tinny Dress pattern, but I added the sash using Liberty fabric. I followed the free tutorial of The Party Dress (The Cottage Mama) to make this sash.

Because the main fabric is really clean and simple, I thought this dress needed some accent. The sash turned out really cute and looked great with the dress.

So, now I think I have some kind of “signature style”, though this is special occasion version. I like to sew everyday and comfy clothes the most, though I like to sew special dresses. And I like to see how mama-made-clothes are worn in my girls’ everyday life.

That’s it for now. I have to write another post about the garment also due by today!

How was your Project Run and Play? I really enjoyed it! If I have next time, I will plan ahead…

Happy Sewing!!
